    Star Trek passings

    Just read that Clive Revill (Sir Guy of Gisbourne in "QPid") passed. He was just a few weeks short of turning 95. You might also might also know him as the voice of the original "chimp eyes" version of Emperor Palpatine in "Empire Strikes Back" and was the original voice of Alfred early in the...

    Brannon Braga just posted on Facebook that Jeri Taylor passed.

    How well-known would each crew be to the public?

    It's funny you bring this up, because I always thought it was ridiculous sending senior officers from the NX-01 to infiltrate Terra Prime only months after the Xindi mission. It'd be like having Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin going on some under cover mission after Apollo 11. And, sure enough...

    Star Trek: Starships Model/Magazine Subscription

    Well, I never saw any version of BSG, so it didn't bother me. I think they had enough generic alien of the week ships that they could've gone with something else for the Nightingale, though.

    Star Trek: Starships Model/Magazine Subscription

    I put this off for a while, but I got one last order from Master Replica before the end. Given how few of the remaining ships fell into the category of both ones I don't yet have, and ones I'm even mildly interested in, I settled on the Nightingale, the Cousteau, and the Bajoran solar sailor...

    Star Trek passings

    Sorry to hear that. I'd seen him in a lot of other TV work in the 2000's,usually playing sketchy characters. He had an arc on "NYPD Blue" playing the ex-husband of one of the detectives, who ends up being a lowlife criminal. He was also in an episode of "Cold Case" (funnily enough, one of the...

    The Enterprise-B ornament from Hallmark (GEN 30th Anniversary)

    Looks like they're also making a mini version of the refit. They're also doing the NSEA Protector from Galaxy Quest.

    Star Trek: Starships Model/Magazine Subscription

    Well, I made what would probably be my last purchase this week. I went with the Nightingale (a ship I never liked, because it's such an obvious recycle, but wanted to make a few comparison photos to show people), the Cousteau captain's yacht (which means I'll now own all the ships seen in...

    I'm still waiting for a standard sized Orville.

    David Gerrold on the 7th Rule podcast

    Speaking as a writer, the writers' room during the first couple of seasons of TNG was not a place you'd want to be. Fortunately, things apparently became more stable around the middle of the third season, with the addition of Michael Piller. The fact that newcomers like Brannon Braga, Rene...

    Star Trek: Starships Model/Magazine Subscription

    I was holding off until there were some more replies (I didn't want to be following my own post) but I got the D5 tanker last Friday and the magazines this week. I was pleasantly surprised that there was no duty to pay for the model and they actually left it in the package box at my building...

    Star Trek: Starships Model/Magazine Subscription

    Yeah, I just can't bring myself to get an XL The only XL I have is the DS9 model, because that's what my local store had. (And I prefer this one, as it's comparable in size to the other stations and comes with a stand). I don't really have room left for regular sized ships, much less XL's...

    Looks like I missed a chance to get the standard sized Orville yesterday. I didn't check the site until hours after the drop. Hopefully, there will be another chance.

    Finally got a tracking number for the magazines, as well. Hope they offer some more, soon.

    Star Trek: Starships Model/Magazine Subscription

    I finally got a tracking number for the D5 tanker!!! Technically the Royal Mail site (let alone Canada Post) doesn't recognize the number yet, but hopefully they will soon. At least it's something.

    Star Trek: Starships Model/Magazine Subscription

    As it's the last day of the sale, my recommendation is to just 3 you don't have, whether you like 'em or not. In other news, I reached out regarding my D5 tanker order on Dec 15 and got this response: Guess I'm still waiting. :shrug:

    News Corgi Announce New Star Trek Die-Cast Models

    Speaking as someone who has a few Furuta models and the second and third Micro Machine box sets, I know there are ways for a Canadian to acquire them, but I'm just curious, who, if anyone, has the rights in Canada and the US right now.

    Star Trek passings

    Ah, yes, Fallit Kot from the episode "Melora". Probably the silliest make up job in Trek history. How does a species evolve to eat with that thing over their face? It looked like a handle to pick up his head like a suitcase. I could imagine "Lower Decks" making fun of that one. The irony...
